Hitachi resteraunt, our cook was very entertaining. Only 4 stars because the waitress just walked away while taking our order. It was bizarre. The bathrooms need updating,we got soaked when we wanted our hands. Food was delicious!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Hitachi resteraunt, our cook was very entertaining. Only 4 stars because the waitress just walked away while taking our order. It was bizarre. The bathrooms need updating,we got soaked when we wanted our hands. Food was delicious!
First, we eat here often & is one of our favorites but today, Mother's Day, was terrible! We arrived at 2:30, had to wait a bit to be seated, then out by 3:30. Long wait times for seats, again, Mother's Day. The chef was terrible! Young, he did everything wrong & seems not to know the way the chefs do anything/everything! He made the rice totally wrong. 2 eggs when there should have been 3, he then loaded rice on the plates disproportionately, we got very little where others got a lot. The vegetables he did not do after the rice & he did very, very little, no one at our table got much, especially not us. I left the restaurant still hungry as the food didn't even cover half the plate. The protein, the shrimp were over cooked & extremely tough, my scallops were perfectly done but were not the teriyaki sauce I'm used to. The time between being seated & finished was an hour, we arrived at 2:30 & were finished& out the door within an hour as it was very quick than a laid back enjoyable meal. I was very unhappy with my mother's day meal. I don't think I'll be going back!
